It's been a while

Well, to say we have been busy would be an understatement. Life as a single mom is tough, and really, Byrd is the easy part. I am not complaining though as I could not be happier with my life, my world and my Byrd. We have moved cross country to Savannah, Georgia, started a new job, learned all about plagiocephaly, helmets and Cranial Technology. We have flown on tiny planes, thanks to Angel Flight, whom we have grown to love and appreciate more than they will ever know, we have gotten to know Charlotte, NC-surprisingly a psychic once told me that he saw Charlotte in my future. Little did I know we would be there every other week. We have moved from one house to another in Savannah as I slept with a hammer under my pillow at the first-eeeek. We have started to make some good friends and started to walk in the right direction in the office, appreciating SCAD more and more on a daily basis. We are upon Byrd's first birthday-June 5th. I can't believe it has been 1 year. Sometimes I look at my life and question if it is really mine. I feel like I live in a surreal world, that if I close my eyes for too long I will wake to an alternative life. I feel quite blessed, as well as lucky, to be where I am. And I owe all of it to my daughter. I race home from work to see what she has done today. She crawls with lightning speed, and all she really wants to do is walk. She has 3 teeth that show, and she is in the process of getting 3 more as I type.
We are going to Dallas this weekend to see an old and beautiful friend wed her love. My old friends have yet to meet Byrd, although L was in my hospital room for a brief second while I was in labor. My parents will also be there to help me watch after Byrd, which is a huge relief. They have come around beautifully, thank goodness. I am very grateful to have them in our lives, as well as the continued support from all our friends. It is amazing, really, how things work out. I will try to be better about posting regular updates-it has just been a bit crazy getting settled into our world. Love to you all out there.
